Festive Fridays | Sending Comfort & Joy

Morning all!

I’m back with another festive take on the Festive Blooms bundle from Concord & 9th that was released last year.

Christmas card inspiration featuring Concord & 9th Festive Blooms

Stamp and dies: Concord & 9th – Festive Blooms

I actually wanted to use this set to see how the Spellbinders ColorWheel cardstock would work with it and with other shades in my stash.

In addition to the C9 cardstock colours listed below, these are the Spellbinders ColorWheel shades that I used:

Fawn
Alabaster
Tuscan
Chiffon
Bellini
Fern
Sicily
Mint

The card base is C9 Peacock and the stitched background for the florals is Spellbinders Mint.

I really liked how the colours from both brands worked well together, and of course there had to be a little festive sparkle with Champagne metallic cardstock for the creamy poinsettias.

Also, a shoutout to Spellbinders Fawn – it’s a deeper and warmer kind of kraft tone, but unlike most kraft cardstock it is super smooth. I’ll have to see if this is one that I end up getting a full pack of!

Finally, to bring it all together, there was ample snowy splatter!

Until next time, happy crafting!

Thanks for your lovely comment, Donna, it’s a great set and I hope you enjoy making many cups of cocoa…

Great card! I recently purchased this die set so your card caught my eye. Wish I could create with those…

I definitely have! Although I’ve now run out of projects to share until I’m back at my craft desk again.…

Thank you so much Joanne!, it wouldn’t be Christmas without a bit of pink. 🙂

About my project supply lists

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK. This means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund, which includes hosting this blog.
Please note that any products marked “(r)” are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.
Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
I also list the stores I regularly use and have affiliate links for here.
